Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[volcanicweather]

Auction Draft team ($200):

QB - Schaub ($14)
RB - AP ($55)
RB - Mendenhall ($43)
WR - Mike Wallace ($33)
WR - Holmes ($13)
WR - Steve Smith CAR ($10)
TE - Winslow ($6)
K - Feely ($1)
DEF - Bears ($2)

Bench
Kyle Orton ($3)
Pierre Thomas ($2)
AJ Green ($9)
Plaxico ($5)
Jared Cook ($2)
Pats D ($2)

Not a bad effort for my first ever auction draft, pretty glad to get AP and Mendenhall for under $100. May have overpaid for Wallace slightly but Schaub was a steal at $14. A little concerned about my 3rd WR spot but hopefully I can swap Green and Smitty based on match-up. Pretty happy with the results.

I wish I was there to read it. Who was the guy making the anti american comments? I want to find a reason to ban him.

Don't think he's on BG. He's Jensmoch in our $$$ league with Volc though. The New guy.

[Tyche]

Wanna rename my team to the Fabulous Fagadanes, but Volc would probably strain a testicle in dismay.

[Demosthenes11]

your pick tyche

[volcanicweather]

Go ahead I don't care, if he can't take a joke that's his problem.

So with the BGP auction, I tried to balance my money and get a lot of decent players and decent backups. In BGE auction, I went stars and scrubs. I spend about 85% of my money on 4 players (Romo, Jennings, MJD, CJ2K). I think I like the Stars and Scrubs approach more.

My "stars and scrubs" team
Romo
Jennings
Burress
CJ2K
MJD
Owen Daniels
Nate Burleson
Adam V
Baltimore D

Ben Tate
Deji Karim
Greg Little
Roy Helu
Henne
Emmanuel Sanders

That is a solid fucking team

My BGP team, which I tried to balance...

Cutler (And P. Manning, overpaid, before the colts released all the info about being doubtful)
Boldin
Santana Moss
Jahvid Best
SJAX
Finley
B Marshall
Robert Meachem
Tomlinson
Jerome Harrison
CJ Spiller
Ben Jarvis Green Ellis
Josh Brown
Baltimore D

What'd you think about my BGE team, Tyche?

[Valisk]

My 1st auction draft period. I learned a lot. Made some mistakes, but overall satisfied.

QB - Philip Rivers ($31)
RB - Chris Johnson ($56) - Reached on this one. Paid $1 more than AD =/
RB - Michael Turner ($37)
WR - Vincent Jackson ($36)
WR - Sidney Rice ($12)
WR - Donald Drive ($1)
TE - Dustin Keller ($1)
K - Billy Cundiff ($1)
DEF - Arizona ($1) - They play Carolina Week 1

Bench:
Matthew Stafford ($15) - Regret spending $15 on him then going after Rivers.
Jacoby Jones ($1)
Danny Woodhead ($5) - Was planning to target him later but someone nominated him the round before so I swooped in and snatched him up. The highest anyone could bid at that point was $4 which they did.
Earl Bennet ($1)
James Jones ($1)
Detroit Lions ($1)

Cail, you're up in the BQBL

[Cail]

Cail, you're up in the BQBL

yea, like i said in the football thread, passed out early then was working since 4am without internet access, got home like 20 mins ago

[Conrad]

np

good pick with dolphins btw

[Cail]

At a loss for who to start in my 2 WR slots this week, need some advice... and as a precursor, yea I know..my WR suck...

M. Colston @GB
M. Floyd MIN
L. Evans PIT
Sims-Walker PHI

Yahoo! has the top 3 projected @ 6poings each, and SW @ 5

[Valisk]

M. Floyd for sure.

Brees spreads the ball around, a lot.

PIT/BAL games are usually on the extreme ends of the scoring spectrum. Either it will end 9-6 or 42-37.

Sam Bradford vs Dream Team Defense?

I'd go with Colston.

[Gadritan]

Plus Moore is out for sure, so that'll help Colston a bit.
